Protecting families, resolving disputes.
Family matters are deeply personal and often legally complex. At Watson Goepel, our experienced family lawyers provide clear, compassionate, and strategic guidance for individuals and families navigating separation, divorce, and parenting disputes. Whether you are seeking an amicable resolution or require strong advocacy in court, our team is here to support you every step of the way.
Our Family Law Services Include:
- Agreements: We assist clients in creating, reviewing, enforcing, and amending all types of family law agreements—from cohabitation and marriage agreements to parenting plans, separation agreements, and even pet agreements.
- Appeals: If you believe a family court decision was unfair or incorrect, our team can review your case and guide you through the appeals process at both the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal.
- Divorce: From uncontested divorces to high-conflict separations and complex high-net-worth cases, we provide clear guidance at every stage, helping you understand how separation affects property division, parenting, and support obligations.
- Family Property Division: We guide clients through family and excluded property division, asset tracing, and dispute resolution to ensure a fair and effective outcome.
- Family Mediation & Arbitration: We work with clients to resolve family matters through mediation and arbitration, focusing on fair outcomes and lasting solutions.
- Family Violence: We help clients secure restraining orders, protection orders, and safe parenting arrangements in high-risk or abusive situations.
- Parenting Arrangements: Our team helps parents and guardians reach practical, child-focused solutions regarding guardianship, parenting time, and decision-making responsibilities.
- Support (Child & Spousal): We provide tailored advice on child support, spousal support, and income determination, ensuring fair outcomes under the Federal Child Support Guidelines and Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines (SSAGs).
We understand the emotional toll that family law matters can take. That’s why we are committed to providing knowledgeable, responsive, and respectful service, whether your matter is resolved through agreement or in court. Our goal is to help families face the future with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.
